Facilitated by the Dr. John Paul Foxe, Educational Developer, Learning and Teaching Office, Ryerson University Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world and this diversity is reflected in Ryerson's community. International TA/GAs and students face a number of challenges, many of which do not affect domestic TA/GAs or domestic students. English may be an alternate language for some and this in itself can cause a number of issues for both the TA/GA and his or her students. In addition, many internationals come from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, which can be substantially different from those found at Ryerson. In this workshop we will explore some of the opportunities and challenges facing international TA/GAs and students.
